    • Be sure to turn off your device before you begin the repair.

    • You'll need to pry the screen up to remove it from the phone. Read the following notes carefully before proceeding.

    • Take note of the two seams on the edge of the phone:

    • Screen seam: This seam separates the screen from the rest of the phone. Do not pry at this seam.

    • Bezel seam: This is where the plastic bezel designed to protect the screen meets the frame. It's held in place by plastic clips. This is where you should pry.

  2. Google Pixel 5a Screen Replacement, Heat the right edge of the screen: stap 2, afbeelding 1 van 1
    • Apply a heated iOpener to the right edge of the display for one minute to soften the adhesive.

    • Depending on the strength of your device's adhesive, you may need to reapply the iOpener multiple times in order to weaken it enough.

    • A hair dryer, heat gun, or hot plate may also be used, but be careful not to overheat the phone—the display and internal battery are both susceptible to heat damage.

    • To remove the screen, you'll need to insert opening picks in between the black clips that secure the bezel to the midframe.

    • Note the optimal points of entry before proceeding.

    • If your display is badly cracked, covering it with a layer of clear packing tape may allow the suction cup to adhere. Alternatively, very strong tape may be used instead of the suction cup. If all else fails, you can superglue the suction cup to the broken screen.

    • Place a suction cup as close to the right edge of the screen as possible.

    • Lift the suction cup with a strong steady force until a small gap forms between the bezel and midframe.

    • The bezel is connected to the midframe by a series of plastic clips which can be detached by inserting an opening pick at points all along the seam.

    • Insert the tip of an opening pick into the bezel seam about 4-5 cm from the bottom of the phone.

    • Insert the tip of an opening pick into the bezel seam at the top of the phone.

    • If this step proves difficult, slide the pick along the top right corner of the phone until there is enough of a gap at the top for the opening pick.

    • Use a T3 Torx driver to remove the 4.6 mm-long screw securing the screen connector bracket.

    • Throughout this repair, keep track of each screw and make sure it goes back exactly where it came from.

    • Use the tip of a spudger to pry up and disconnect the screen flex cable.

    • To re-attach press connectors like this one, carefully align and press down on one side until it clicks into place, then repeat on the other side. Do not press down on the middle. If the connector is misaligned, the pins can bend, causing permanent damage.

    • Remove the screen from the phone.

    • During reassembly:

    • If you replaced the screen, check the screen's front-facing camera hole and remove any protective liners covering it.

    • Remember to reinstall the screen connector bracket.

    • If you are using a custom-cut adhesive, follow this guide to correctly apply new screen adhesive.

    • If you are using Tesa tape to reattach the screen, follow this guide.

    • During the boot-up process after reassembly, the screen will go through a calibration sequence. Do not touch the screen during this process, as it could result in improper touch calibration and create touch issues.

Thank you, this was useful for removing the screen from my device without damaging it further! With the invisible fasteners, a guide like this is invaluable for knowing where the latches are and how to get to them.

As a guide for replacing a screen, there are a few other things worth mentioning:

• Is it necessary to remove the old gasket ("adhesive film")?

• How do you apply the new display adhesive, the one that comes on a blue card? Do you need to do that before re-attaching the new screen cable? Why are there cut-outs in the blue card that mostly match the positions of contacts on my device, but not entirely? Do I remove it before closing the device?

• In addition to a couple pieces of tape, the replacement screen also comes with a small piece of film protecting the camera area. Do pull it out by the small red tab before re-assembly.

• Any other tips for reattaching that press-fit board-to-board connector? Should I really expect it to click into place? It took me many tries to get that aligned and secured!

1. Depends on what you mean by "Necessary," but it is recommended

2. In Step 15, there is a guide linked for custom-cut adhesive; follow that one.

Yes, before you reconnect cable.

I don't know what the cutouts are for, but you will remove the blue card anyway after applying the adhesive to the frame. The important part to line up is the adhesive to the frame; the blue card doesn't matter beyond that.

And yes, you will remove it before closing the device.

3. Didn't see that. I hope my device's camera works. I'll check that now.

4. Reconnecting this was the most tedious part for me. I used the gold colored corners on the board to line up the connector(you can see these in the picture for step 15. Also, I used my finger and not the spudger for pressing down when reattaching (and I don't have small hands); this helps you feel the slight click when it's in place.

Also, you can use the suction cup as a sort of kickstand so you have enough ribbon cable to work with (because there's not a lot of it.)

Lol No -

Literally went step by step by this guide and repaired my own Google pixel 5A phone. If you purchase the entire repair kit for the Google Pixel 5A you have essential every tool you'll need. I will recommend ordering screens for this phone here from this website.

Muy buen tutorial, hay que mejorar la parte donde se coloca el adhesivo ya que no lo explica pero el resto esta muy bien. demore 30 minutos en remplazar la pantalla.

Good guide but agree with keturn that it would be great to have more tips and reminders for replacing the screen.

I mostly figured it out, heres how I did it:

- I removed the old adhesive, and tried to scrape and clear it all.

- next I attached the new adhesive before connecting the screen cable since I figured it would be hard when its attached. I did try to make sure to press all along the adhesive with tweezers to set it. I left the next set of backing on to minimize the time the adhesive is exposed (avoid dust or me touching it)

- then I attached the connector. This was a little difficult, but also not very experienced with this.

- then I removed the adhesive backing and closed it up right after. I used rubber bands (3 across and 1 down the middle) to clamp the screen and put some books on it as much as I could over the next day.
